After decades of serving the legal needs of physicians and healthcare providers, I have made the decision to retire from the practice of law effective October 31, 2025. It has been both a privilege and an honor to work alongside so many dedicated professionals over the years.

For the past several years, I have had the pleasure of working closely with Adam J. Appleberry in preparation for this transition. Adam is an experienced healthcare attorney who drafts and negotiates contracts, represents clients in mergers and acquisitions, and advises on a wide range of legal and compliance matters. His practice focuses on representing physicians and other healthcare providers in:

• Practice formation and employment contract reviews
• Licensing and credentialing issues
• HIPAA and regulatory compliance matters
• Sales and acquisitions of medical practices

Adam brings a unique perspective to his work, having served as both a business executive and a U.S. Army officer before entering the legal profession. His disciplined, real-world approach has earned the trust of healthcare professionals, business leaders, and organizations navigating complex legal challenges.

Beginning November 1, 2025, Adam will be your primary point of contact for legal matters. He can be reached at aappleberry@tuckerlaw.com or (412) 594-5532.

I have complete confidence in Adam’s ability to provide the same high-quality, attentive representation that you have come to expect, and I know you will be in excellent hands.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve you throughout my career.

Best Regards,

Michael Cassidy
